Apple iPhone 16 launch event: Apple at today’s event unveiled the highly anticipated Apple Watch Series 10, marking its tenth anniversary. The latest model features a 40 percent brighter wide-angle OLED display- largest ever display used in an Apple Watch. Building on the health features of the Series 9, the Series 10 introduces groundbreaking advancements, including sleep apnea detection, alongside a host of design improvements and performance upgrades.
New health monitoring capabilities
The Apple Watch Series 10 brings a new level of health monitoring with its sleep apnea detection feature. Sleep apnea, a serious condition where breathing intermittently stops during sleep, poses significant health risks such as hypertension and cardiovascular problems. The Series 10 leverages its built-in accelerometer to monitor breathing disturbances during the night. This data is then made available in the Health app, offering users detailed insights into their sleep patterns. Apple is currently awaiting FDA approval for this feature, and once granted, it will be accessible in over 150 countries, including the US and Europe. Notably, this sleep apnea detection feature will also be rolled out to the Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2.
Design and performance upgrades
The Apple Watch Series 10 boasts an edge-to-edge wide-angle OLED display, which offers 30 percent more screen area and is 40 percent brighter than its predecessors. This enhanced display ensures that users can easily read notifications and messages, even in bright conditions. The Series 10 introduces new color options, including a new jet black glossy finish, as well as rose gold and silver aluminum. Additionally, the stainless steel casing has been replaced with a durable titanium option, available in natural, gold, and gray finishes.
Measuring just 9.7 millimeters in thickness, the Series 10 is approximately 10 percent thinner than the Series 9, making it more comfortable to wear. It also features the fastest charging capability ever seen in an Apple Watch, with the ability to reach up to 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes. Powering these advancements is the new S10 SiP, equipped with a 4-core neural engine designed to accelerate machine learning tasks.
Additional features
In addition to its health and performance upgrades, the Apple Watch Series 10 will also include the Depth app, further enhancing its functionality for users who engage in water activities.
